I've felt terrible today, and don't know what to do or what I've done to cause this. I'm 12 days post-op and the only thing I've eaten today is a little bit of mashed potatoes with some Unjury protein in them. I've had diarrhea, and have been extremely bloated, I suppose. It constantly feels like I need to have a bowel movement. I'm also feeling a sharp, stinging pain near or around one of my incision sites. I can't tell if it's inside or out really. My family doc just looked at my incisions yesterday and said they are fine, so I don't think it's infected. Any ideas what's going on with me and how I can fix this or prevent it from happening in the future?

Potatoes are notorious for causing gas and bloating... And if you use milk in them, many people become sensitive to lactose after they get lap band. Maybe some milk of magnesia to help your bowels move along? That might relieve the pressure?
